On the 26th of January 2008,
Down at South Perth foreshore,
Amidst everyone enjoying the celebrations,
The police and ambulance still working,
Looking for trouble, for our safety

The Police


The Ambulance



All up, a 15km trek carrying our shoulderbags (mine was 7kg and now my shoulder is sore!)!

Nice captures Adam, i really like the first shot alot. The lightning really adds to the mood.

Your sore shoulder should teach you to use a real backpack, even though a shoulder bag looks much cooler.

Seriously though i hear you, the tamrac Velocity 9 that i use gets a little bit heavy on the shoulder if i wear it for to long.

#1 is a super shot, Adam.

I really like number 1 too. I must try and post some of the fireworks shots I got.

Thanks for the comments
Paul - I think next year I'll use the backpack again (I used it 2 years ago) but the sling seemed more convenient for changing gear. but overall I'll try travel lighter. I only had 2 lenses on me, but next year will probably leave the 70-200 at home, or just use the backpack.

I shot fireworks almost every time I went, so this year wanted to try different things I didn't even bring a tripod this time hehe

nice shots--nicely composed.

Both pictures are great Adam...

I like specially #2 because of the expression and pose of the girl. To me it is a great picture... and probably a very good candidate of bw treatment.
